I was in KL today and I asked about the launch of Desire. The person in charge told me that it would be available mid April, which I really doubt =7

desire's price should be lower than nexus. if they priced it higher, they are just profiteering ... then we must do the sane thing ... DON'T BUY!!!

im eyeing the desire too, but if they are priced illogically, i will get the n1. or maybe delay purchase till launch of galaxy s .. hehehehe

N1 is available from UOB Bank's CC holder at 215.67 a month for 12 months (interest free)...still expensive

Just 'reroute' your browser to singapore and then buy online from google website..send to your singapore'fren and then ask then to bring back whenever they can..

all in all, about rm19xx..including DHL fee

really?
i thought the specs of desire are higher than nexus one,
as the information from taiwan or hk...

if the price of legend is RM1999,
i think desire will be more than RM2k,
am i right?

desire & nexus are more or less the same phone.

desire does not have the noise cancelling mikes & triband; nexus has, thus the expected lower pricing

desire is reported to have more rams than the nexus, 576mb vs 512mb

desire is also reported to come with a bigger 8gb microSD card in the box, nexus is 4gb

getting either one shud not make much of a difference. nexus can run sense and desire can run native android live windows.

if the pricing of desire is reasonable, it is my opinion that it is better to buy the desire as u will get the local oem warranty & support. nexus is not officially launched in msia.

if desire is priced skyhigh, then get the nexus. if u can wait, let samsung launched its galaxy s, the prices are expected to be more stable by then.

how can u say desire is better than nexus?

go to xda forum and see the problem they are facing with the desire.. like the 3G issues, amoled screen.. all the same like nexus.

In Malaysia, HTC is represented by SiS for distribution and warranty services. SiS would get HTC to support them and only endorse locally distributed sets. Unless you can provide proof of travel documentation that you're not local.

Only HTC Msia at Plaza Berjaya Jln Imbi ( NOT SIS) will process any claims - you have to pay a service fee upfront first ( I think is RM 80) . First they will check whether your set is registered by the serial number - so I suggest you registered your set online first after purchased. You have to root your set and have it market enabled. All instructions clearly shown in this Android forum here

There are pros and cons and I'd say there is no better set . It boils down to your preference :

1. htc Desire comes with builtin htc Sense but you can similarly have this in Nexus One ( after root and injstall the Desire mod ) - well some prefer Nexus as you can have both UI available. I believe the guys at Modaco will also be working on Nexus UI for the Desire ( not available now , perhaps in the coming months )
2. Physical hard keys on Desire vs the tactile soft key on Nexus
3. Higher memory in Desire ?? - if this is important to you. But web reviews show this is not a major "attractive" factor
4. Build quality and looks ??? Anyway both manufactured by HTC
5. Voice cancelling features in Nexus vs none in htc - important for you ??
6. Pricing - if you are on a tight budget. Now nobody really knows whether the Desire is cheaper ; my guess should be similar to Nexus
7. Warranty - Desire with local htc/SIS support vs Nexus ( more hassle as best is to take it down to Spore though I believe htc KL will entertain )
